Sarah Silverman is airing out her family’s dirty laundry. The comedian, 54, told Rolling Stone that her grandfather was allegedly responsible for her 3-month-old brother Jeffrey’s tragic

death. “I’m going to tell you a big bomb,” Silverman told the outlet in an interview published Sunday. “The story was that something happened with the crib, and Jeffrey’s little body slid

and he got suffocated,” Silverman recalled of her brother’s passing. “But if you look back,” she added, “there was never a lawsuit with the crib company or anything.” EXPLORE MORE The

“School of Rock” actress was born after her brother died while in the care of their paternal grandparents, Max and Rose. Silverman recalled that her father, Donald Silverman, told her the

truth about Jeffrey’s death in 2022 when he came to New York City to see her perform her autobiographical stage show, “Bedwetter,” which included a joke about the tragedy. “My dad says, ‘I

always felt that he was crying or something, and my dad [Max] shook him,’” Silverman shared. “‘He shook him in a rage and killed him.’” Silverman’s manager “gasped” when she shared the

grandkids surrounded him with love and singing and very dark f—ed up jokes this final week.” “But ultimately, he wanted to be with his love, Janice, who we lost last Monday,” Silverman noted

of her dad’s second wife. “He always said he was the richest man in the world because of his family, and he was,” she added. The star’s mother, Beth Ann, passed away in 2015. Her

grandparents are also deceased.
